Calvert-Lewin rescues draw for Leeds against impressive Brentford

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a late tap-in to earn Leeds United a 1-1 draw with Brentford at Elland Road. Brentford had been on course for a second victory of the season after thrashing Tottenham last weekend when Kevin Schade deservedly put them ahead with a clever finish, guiding in Keane Lewis-Potter's low cross with the outside of his right boot, shortly before half-time Keith Andrews' side were particularly impressive in the first-half, controlling the game with their pace and aggression to quieten the home supporters as new signing Mamadou Sangare shone again in midfield.
